I did have the OEM halogen turn signals in there for a little while after putting in the Braga, but having led turn signals in my other cars, it wasn't long before I couldn't resist switching over to the leds on the GS as well. Glad you liked the write-up hope it helps you out when it's your turn for led turn signals.

The Braga's look sweet. Really timeless and LED turns bring this car up to date for sure.

I have that electronic flasher with the **** to control the speed of flashes per minute. I installed the electronic flasher a month before I installed the LED bulbs. Worked flawlessly with or without the LEDs. I got the JDM flasher from Amazon, the bulbs are also the JDM Astar Amber LEDs from Amazon, its been a good year with them.

If you look at the link in my sig on LEDs, I used resistors wired on the rear tail light wire harness. Very easy.

Could any body update me the limitation of LED relays? how could they know if one of bulbs burnt thus give waning? I think if it is only one bulb it should know. Yet not sure whether these relays works properly. Unless 100% they work well it seems a bad idea to just for a little bright bulbs.
I know many people like to decorate their cars, yet safety is the first issue.
